Biography: About six hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Kescheff was ravaged by internal strife and split into North Kescheff and South Kescheff. At the time, the rift was based on intractable political disagreements, but over the years both sides of the border have seen major political upheavals, and in fact their current governments follow generally similar policies.

That isn't to say that North Kescheff and South Kescheff get along well, or ever have. They aren't at war, at least right now, but there's barely a Northerner alive who won't explain at length how much better the North is than the South, and vice versa. This despite how similar the two cultures have managed to remain over the years - most of the actual difference is comes down to emphasis. For example, even though most of the population eats both goat-sausage and dried cabbage, the Northerners declare the sausage as their national dish and the Southerners declare the cabbage as theirs.

And Nikolai Tramontane was a Northerner, through and through. Indeed, he thought most other Northerners too soft - they didn't even spit in their dried cabbage before eating it!

This often got Nikolai into fights, such as the numerous occasions where he spat in another man's cabbage, but he hardly cared. He only wanted to show his love for North Kescheff. What did he need friends, family members, or employers for if they got in the way of that? Besides, he generally emerged conscious, that was proof enough that he was the truest patriot.

Description: Nikolai is a burly man with a thick beard and heavy fur clothing. He always has a scowl on his face, or at least he does whenever someone else is around to see it because most likely they don't love North Kescheff enough, or worse, don't hate South Kescheff enough.

Nikolai is very passionate about North Kescheff and how much better it is than South Kescheff. Because of this, he's quick to anger when he sees something from North Kescheff being disrespected, which may include not being present when he thinks it should be, or when he sees something from South Kescheff not being disrespected. Given that, outside his own universe, almost nobody will know anything about what traditions either North or South Kescheff have, this means he's likely to get into a lot of fights.

Weapons and Abilities: Nikolai carries no weapons except his fists. He finds they're enough for most arguments. Other than that, his only particular special ability is the fact that he will be perfectly comfortable in his outfit no matter how warm or cold it is. And, of course, his boundless love for North Kescheff, which is a much better place than South Kescheff.
